@jennysduan exemplifies grit and deep mission-orientation. Watching her and Abhi break down barriers with @clair_health has been an absolute masterclass. Excited watch them reinvent proactive healthcare for women around the world

General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled. (skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context) I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of. This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.

Super excited to colead @LuelCompanyAI’s $31.2M seed round. There are certain teams you meet where you know within 5 minutes that you want to partner with them Luel is one of those team. William and Inigo are incredibly ambitious founders who understand the human data bottleneck from the inside out. They've built Luel to create a scalable, reliable supply of that data — something that will be foundational to the next generation of AI.

I want to fund a space warfighting prime. Space is a unique domain. It's huge, hostile, and fragile — so we need tech that can help America secure outer space *while preserving the domain itself.* If you're thinking about the future of space and defense, please get in touch.
